This note provides a detailed overview of the chemical
transformations that control the abundances of key trace species in the Earth's
atmosphere. This note covers the following topics: photochemistry, kinetics, and
thermodynamics important to the chemistry of the atmosphere, stratospheric ozone
depletion, oxidation chemistry of the troposphere, photochemical smog, aerosol
chemistry, and sources and sinks of greenhouse gases and other climate forcers.
